H. E. Sayyed M. H. Fadlallah explains his ruling that smoking is prohibited (Haram) in Islam. He bases this on a Quranic principle that prohibits anything which causes more harm than benefit to a person. Since all medical experts agree that smoking is significantly harmful and has no benefits, he concludes that it must be considered impermissible under Islamic Law. This ruling applies to all forms of smoking because it harms both the smoker and those around them.
